IMPORTANT – Charity begins at home

Those who have followed our efforts to promote British manufacturing and farming for a while now might have noticed that we have been a little quieter than usual of late. The main reason for this is that we have been working hard setting up our own charitable foundation and we are please to say that we are now very close to launch.

Through the, imaginatively titled, British Family Foundation we hope to inspire disadvantaged young people to ‘make it’ in Britain. Through the provision of grants, education, resources and professional development opportunities we aim to help aspiring makers and producers pursue education or entrepreneurial endeavor that will ultimately lead to them finding a career in manufacturing & farming in the UK.

Through the latter half of last year it quickly became clear to us that as British manufacturing increases there is likely to be a significant skills gap of young people wanting to work in the sector. In short, if British manufacturing is to continue to grow, we must inspire the next generation of skilled people and entrepreneurs.

We have, in such a short space of time, been in a fortunate position to have achieved much in our mission of promoting British industry but this is likely to be our biggest challenge to date.

Like all charities we can only do as much as the funding we receive. This is why we are happy to announce that all of the promotional activities we undertake from now on, including the British Family Fayre, will be in an effort to raise money for this cause.

Inspiring young people is something we are truly passionate about and we are confident that we can rely on you to help us spread the word about this fantastic new charity.
